Chapter Ninety-Three: When the Two Moons Coincide
He was dragged away after being beaten into a pig's head.
Before leaving, Tuo and Tuo did not hesitate to promise "heavy" food as a reward, and asked Shao Xuan to help them make two.
The boomerang is also rumored to have been invented by some indigenous people, but here it is not very helpful for hunting, and it is not lethal to the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.
However, it can also be used to drive away birds and beasts, or as bait to attract the attention of fierce beasts.
As for the question asked Shao Xuan if he would join the advance team before leaving, Shao Xuan did not give a clear answer, and only said that he would wait until his strength improved.
It may not have been Ta's order to come over, but he definitely knew, but he didn't stop it.
Regardless of Ta's thoughts, Shao Xuan didn't plan to join the advance team again, he felt that it was better to be in Mai's hunting team. Because of Shao Xuan's previous exploits, the witch club gave him the herbs he needed, and those herbs, Shao Xuan gave them to Lao Ke, and Lao Ke now looks a lot more energetic than in the past few years.
When he came back to his senses and saw that Caesar was still squatting on the ground looking at the broken boomerang, Shao Xuan picked up the boomerang in the past, threw it into the house to make a fire for a while, patted Caesar's wolf head comfortingly, and said, "I'm making you a new game tomorrow." ”
Probably because he had exercised during the day, his exuberant energy had decreased a lot, and Caesar was a little more relieved at night.
Shao Xuan stood at the door, looking at the night sky.
The two moons, which were almost one step away from rounding, had met, and according to the veterans, the river level would accelerate its decline since the beginning of the two-month appearance.
Such a change is obvious.
The next day, when Shao Xuan came to the river, he saw that the river level had dropped a lot compared to yesterday, and the river water was also flowing very rapidly downstream, as if something downstream had sucked them away.
This also confirms the old warrior's claim that when the moon is full, the river "disappears".
When the river level descends, a lot of sediment is exposed, and something can be seen moving in the sediment, and sometimes an unknown bird will fly to the sediment to peck at it, but occasionally a large mouth will pop out of the sediment and bite the bird and drag it into the mud.
Even if only the mud and sand remain, it is still dangerous, no wonder the tribe does not allow everyone to get close to it, not to mention that the mud and sand are easy to sink into, just those creatures hidden in the mud and sand are enough for everyone to be afraid of.
In the next few days, the two moons coincided more and more, the river became more and more rapid, and the river level fell very quickly, and now, standing next to the first fish fence, there was all the sediment in front of me, but it was precisely because of the river level that people could see the appearance of the bottom of the river.
In addition to the sediment, there are also some strange aquatic plants, some of which stand there like coral, and some of which are like ordinary aquatic plants, but they move on their own.
From the first fish fence, less than ten meters forward, it is a steep slope, and a hundred meters away, it is already very deep, and even makes people feel like an abyss without seeing the bottom.
The big river that allows the overlords in the river to live freely is not an ordinary river, but I don't know how deep the deepest part of the river is.
Before the river "disappeared", Shao Xuan would throw a piece of wood into the river, watching the wood go downstream with the river, and before it was out of sight, no wood would sink quickly. Apparently, some of the wood-eating creatures in the river were still missing.
As the time of the double moon coincides closer, not only Caesar and chirp symptoms become more and more obvious, but the night swallows also become more and more rampant.
Others couldn't hear the voices of the night swallows, but Shao Xuanneng, he could hear their excitement from the voices of those night swallows. This bloodthirsty excitement allows them to overcome their fear of fire, even if someone walks with a torch at night, they will be attacked by those night swallows, many of them will be burned to death by the fire, but they seem to have only the target in their eyes.
Caesar would howl like a wolf in the mountains and forests at night these days. Last year, probably because Caesar was still young, and his symptoms were not as obvious as they are now, there was no howling, but this year is different.
At first, the patrolling warriors thought that there were wolves in the tribe, but when they came over, they found that it was Caesar. After all, Caesar was not called that in the past in the tribe.
Chirp now nests in the bird's nest every day, not going anywhere, it seems to feel that there will be danger outside, if it weren't for the fact that the amount of food of this product is still increasing, Shao Xuan will think that it is sick.
The big river at the bottom of the mountain gives people the most intuitive feeling that the river is far away, as if there has never been a big river under the mountain, and it really "disappears", and there is only an abyss full of mud and sand on the edge.
Raise your head and look into the distance, there is nothing. There is no big river, there is no other bank, and it is not clear where the border is.
If it weren't for the information of the old soldiers, Shao Xuan would also have a psychological panic about the unknown because of such a vision.
On the day when the two moons coincide exactly, the night is like day.
When the two moons coincide, it's like two moons merging into one, and they become much larger.
The full moon in the night sky, like a huge pale eyeball, looks down on everything on the ground.
That night, the Nightswallow danced wildly above the abyss where the river had disappeared, but it never flew into the tribe again.
On the top of the tribe's mountain, Wu stood by the fire pit and chanted something, and in the fire pit, the original small flame had filled the entire fire pit, and the high and rolling flames made the top of the mountain look like a torch, and also reduced people's fear of such a celestial phenomenon.
The tribe was terrifyingly quiet, except for the witch on the top of the mountain, no one was standing outside, and Shao Xuan had already been told to stay in the house tonight. Caesar howled in the room, chirping in a ball in the nest, and his head was buried in his wings.
Even in the house, you can hear the faint roar of beasts coming from the mountains and forests far away.
It wasn't until the next day, when the moon disappeared and the sun appeared, that everyone came out again, and everyone had a sense of relief on their faces, and it was clear that the full moon night did not cause them substantial damage, but there was an indescribable sense of fear, and it would be more reassuring to see the flames on the top of the mountain through the cracks in the window. Now, as soon as the full moon night passes, everyone seems to come to life again.
On the second night of the conjunction of the two moons, although the moon still looks like the same, it is not as big as last night, and if you look closely, you can still see that there is a change, and the two moons are separating.
And after nightfall, Shao Xuan noticed that the ground under his feet was shaking, and the shaking was getting worse and worse. He had already learned more from Lao Ke, so he wasn't worried. Remembering that he was in the cave at this time last year, he thought there would be an earthquake, ran out of the cave and was carried back by someone, and was laughed at by other children.
In the second half of the night, Shao Xuan was awakened by the vibration of the ground again, and at the same time, there was a roaring sound, like a galloping horse, just listening to the sound felt huge.
The humidity of the air is increasing, and the water vapor is increasing.
The wind outside the house was blowing so hard that the gravel was blown away and made a crackling sound against the wooden wall, and Shao Xuan even wondered if the walls of the wooden house would be pierced by those stones.
The roar is getting louder and louder.
The sound of a boom, accompanied by the violent tremors of the ground beneath his feet, and the damp vapor in the air, it was clear that, as the old soldiers had said, the "disappeared" falling river, rose again.
A moment later.
"Uhhh
The piercing scream was extremely clear in the surrounding roar, and after the whistle-like scream, it was followed by the familiar muffled thunder, which overshadowed the previous roar, like the king's declaration, a qiē noise, all under the king!
And it's like a signal, a regression signal.
The creatures that disappeared during the rainy season have returned with the river.
The roar gradually faded away, but the voices of the kings in the river rang all night, I believe that this night, many people in the tribe couldn't sleep like Shao Xuan
